Variant Warforged (5e Race Variant)
Ability Score Increase[edit]
Your Constitution score increases by 1.
Integrated Defence (Enhances 'Integrated Protection')[edit]
Your body has built-in defensive layers, which can determine your Armour Class. You can utilise these configurations if you meet the prerequisite(s), and if you are using a shield, you apply its bonus as normal.
You can alter your body to enter different defensive modes; each time you finish a long rest, choose one mode to adopt from the Integrated Protection table, provided you meet the mode’s prerequisite. If you had integrated a set of armour, it takes the usual one hour to remove it. In addition, the +1 to Armour Class does not apply to these configurations

---|---|---|
Aramid Fibre (unarmoured) |
None | 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your proficiency modifier (if proficient with light armor) |
